"..After the M4’s shortcomings, troops complain the most about their aging and "underpowered 9mm" M9 pistols, Coburn added".

Perhaps we can use this in our current political fight.

See, even the military says the M4/AR15 isn't sufficient for soldiers. So, they aren't assault rifles after all. They're woefully inadequate for war, so they ought to be safe in the hands of private citizens.

Unlikely. DoD supplies .45 ACP and (I believe) .38 Special as well for guns that remain issued. Any stores on hand would likely be retained for future issue. It would probably take a few years to replace existing M9s, and the 9mm ammo supply would be drawn down during that period with new purchases cut way back.

Some Special Ops units use .45 ACP of various kinds. I wouldn't be surprised if the Military went to Glocks or maybe even M&P. Many PDs have made the switch from Glock to M&P & they're made in the USA if that has anything to do with the choice. With this present administration I doubt that will have much to do with the decision. The only good thing, in my opinion, about the M9 was mag capacity. I still liked & trusted the 1911.

There'll be about 2000 used M&P 40 guns available soon. The Milwaukee PD is getting new ones. They switched from Glock 22 a few years back. My son was issued his new M&P 40 already. MPD Officers will get first choice on buying their old gun back.

Its kinda funny (ironic) in that the civilians are always looking to the military on what to use and it looks like that we're the ones with the superior pistols. It sounds as if most if not all of the modern polymer pistols (sold to civilians) on the market today are superior to what the soldier is using in the field.
